The David Report offers cutting-edge critical thought in the intersection of design, culture and business ideas consisting of an in-depth trend report and a blog.
With a creative and humanistic approach we write about the latest and most interesting news, ideas and concepts concerning art, architecture, culture, design, fashion, music, sustainability and travel.
We are facing a pandemic of ‘designed stuff’ and we have reached a contamination point, a crisis for Design. Why are we not more pertubed and disturbed, why are we so tolerant? Should we not be calling for a guerrilla war against ‘designerism’ or do we need a revolution to cut the ties with the hero’s of 20th Century Design?
We are trying to make a difference by challenging the conventional mindset.
